Gert Doering: The RIPE Whois database is the only one allowing route6 object creation.

Iljitsch Van Beijnum: What is the gain of filtering less specific ?

Geoff Huston: What problem are you trying to solve ?

Gert Doering: Trying to prevent accident, less maintenance if the documentation is in the database then it will be more stable.

Conclusion: as we cannot force people to filter, we will see more specifics anyways (David Kessens)

E. Report(s) about *actual* v6 traffic volume as compared to v4? *what's real* out there, not what's on powerpoint?

- http://www.sixxs.net/misc/traffic/ (Jeroen Massar)

Pointer to Jeroen's website was provided, but content was not discussed. Pim van Pelt offered to do some work to provide more data on his Sixxs ipv6 service but it was decided that the amount of work was probably not worth the effort.

Discussed whether any ipv6 usage data from the RIPE meetings itself was available. This discussion resulted in a request and an action point for the RIPE NCC to provide us such data in the future (Action point 51.3)

F. The end of the 6bone address space is in sight (Jeroen Massar)

Discussion: - what are people going to do with 6bone address space as - per 6/6/6 ? - filter it? - keep it going? - warn people? - what to do with the 6bone registry ?

Iljisch v B.: DNS is not auto-configurable in IPv6 like it is in IPv4 so I would like to use 6bone to get an ipv6 assignment for an experiment for well-known ipv6 DNS resolver addresses.

Geoff H. : IANA has released a statment that 6bone dies on 06/06/2006.

Gerd D.: exactly, what will people do when this happens?

No uniform policy on what to do with 6bone prefixes. Some people will start filtering while others won't bother.

In general, people advised David Kessens who maintains the 6bone registry to stop accepting registry changes by the close date but to keep the data online for some time to come with proper warning message when information is accessed.

G. Developments/initiatives regarding IPv6 in the RIPE region and beyond
